Application inea April 3o, 1924. serial m1710939.

To all whom t kmay concern:

Be it known that I, RAY W. LYON, a

citizen of the United States, residing at ,to provide a beating and mixing device which may be firmly seculred to a table or the v like,-and easily operated.

A further object ofthe invention is to provide a device of this character whereby the beater and mixer element may be raised or lowered as desired.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which is comparatively simple in construction, durable, and eflicient for the purpose intended.

In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved device shown mounted upon the edge of a table,

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the device embodying my invention, and

Figure 3 is an end elevation of the same.

In the drawing, whereinfor the purpose of illustration isshown the preferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 5 generally denotes a table, shelf or other suitable resting place.V By the numeral 6 I denote a common form of bowl employed while beating or mixing commodities. Referring `more particularly to my invention 7 indicates the upright supporting bracket which is substantially triangular in form' and is provided with a reinforcing web 8 formed on the central portion thereof. The lower extremity of thebracket 7 is provided with an extension flange 9 which rests upon the table and is retained in position by means of an angular bracket 10 formed on the lower portion of the upright support 7 and having an internally threaded opening formed in the lower portion. A threaded thumb screw 11 is mounted within the threaded opening and is provided with a swivel cap 12 mounted upon the upper extremity of the thumb screw 11 for the purpose of engaging the underside of the table or supporting means.

A horizontal arm 13 is formed on the upper extremity of the supporting bracket 7. This bracket is preferably composed of an angular bent plate having a vertical extenksion 14 bent at the upper extremity to form a semi-circular flange 15.

A vertical rod 16 is rotatably mounted through suitable openings formed in the bracket 13 and carries a collar 17 rigidly secured to therod by means of a set screw and limits the downward movement of the rod 16. Rotatably vsecured to the upper extremity of the rod 16 is a handle member 18 lconnecting with a sleeve 19 rigidly secured to the rotatable rod. The rod 16 is circular in cross section, the upper extremity having a fiat side as at 2O adapted to engage an appropriate opening formed in a toothed gear 21 mounted upon the rod 16 and preferably provided with an extension hub 22. The toothed gear 21 is driven by a crown gear 23, mounted upon the side of the bracket 13 by means of a rivet or the like and meshing with the gear 21, the crown gear being rotated by means of a handle 24 mounted upon the outer periphery thereof.

As it is desirable to raise and lower the rod 16 without like movement of the gear 21 this gear is prevented from vertical movement by means of a clip 25 formed upon the bracket 13 and bent about the gear 21 to prevent raising of the same. In order that the o'ears 21 and 23 may eiciently mesh the brac et 13 has a longitudinal slot 26 formed therein to permit the gear 21 to extendoutwardly and engage the crown gear 23.

The agitating means comprise a pair of strips or vanes 27 substantially circular in formation at the lower extremities and provided with angular extensions 28 at the upper portion, the upper extremity being provided. with openings to receive the rod 16 which is inserted through the vanes 27 at the upper and lower extremities and firmly secured thereon by means of nuts or the like. I do not wish to limit'my invention to this particular construction of beating or agitating means, the particular construction shown employing what is commonly known as a single beater while I contemplate the use of double beaters and numerous other agitating means commonly employed.

In use, my device may be readily mounted upon :i mille. shell". o :my eonrenient son port, the ngritntorn beingrained in ineens of the handle 1S und tile bowl eonnining' tlie commodities to lie beaten or lnixed positioned below the sanne. The lunulle is tlien lowered musing *die lieni'er to lie inserted within the eonin'uulity und lie luindle 2 actuated causing rotation o'l" the frown geur :23 Wliieli in Turn ineslies with tlie geur 2l enuningg' rotniion ol ille eluilt 1 6 und lienl'era. lr ii; ulSo olniousv limi lie sln'l muy lie ruined :1nd lowered while the lienlers nre laeingi' rotnied thus nun-e eilieienliljf neningf and mixing' lille eonnnodii Within ille lion-l.
